Abstract: Vehicle body measuring apparatus having first and second extendible members for positioning on opposed sides of a vehicle body. A longitudinal member is connectible between the upper ends of the first and second members. First and second pointers are slidably mountable on the longitudinal member. Connecting means are provided for pivotally connecting the first and second members relative to the vehicle body and clamping means are provided for clamping the first and second members in a fixed position relative to opposed sides of the vehicle body.

Abstract: A clamping device comprises a clamping means disposed towards an upper end of the device for clamping to a vehicle body and a securing means disposed towards a lower end of the device for releasably securing first and second transverse support members. The device is clamped to a vehicle body and supports the vehicle body in a fixed position above the transverse support members.Vehicle clamping and support apparatus includes four such clamping devices. One pair of clamping devices is clamped to opposite, rear undersides of the vehicle body. The other pair of clamping devices is clamped to opposite, front undersides of the vehicle body. First and second support members are then slideably positioned along the lateral undersides of the vehicle by slideably engaging the support members with the clamping devices clamped along each side of the vehicle. Third and fourth support members slideably engage the front and rear clamping device pairs, respectively, transversely to the first and second support members.
